Because being gay ... is just so gay.

Whois
11-04-2004, 03:12 PM
Because gay people won't make babies, and since the ONLY purpose of marrage is procreation (or so I've been told)...

Which means me and the wife will have to get a divorce since we can't have children.

BRILLIANT!

I kind of addressed this in the "why be a conservative" thread. But my answer here is that people who are afraid of gay marriage are also afraid to admit that someone gay is just like them -- well, mostly.

Oh that, and wealth. If you die and can pass your assets onto a homosexual partner, you've now create a channel of wealth for generations. In a couple of decades, homosexuals could actually become an even more powerful voting block with even more resources than *gasp* evangelicals. Not to mention those homosexual friendly kids they'd raise.

Exactly (y) It's nothing more than fear. They think if gayness becomes the norm they will fall into it because in truth they really are gay.
The people who really don't care about it either way are the only true hetrosexuals.

assman u really are what your name says, an ass.


I am saddened that my state of Michigan was 1 of the 11 states that over whelmingly voted to ban gay marriage. In today's paper there is an article about how all these couples who have benefits now as homosexual couples will be losing their benefits after their contracts expire cause they are in violation of the constitution. It is all bullshit and I have lost respect for everyone that voted in favor of banning gay marraiage

Many studies have proven gay people can't properly raise children. Give the gay people civil unions, not marriage. Marriage is an isstution of God. The Americian people made the correct choice!
Yes, its an institution of god. And as long as homosexual marriage is between consenting adult human beings and causing no bodily harm to anyone else, the government has absolutely no right amending the constitution based on religious definitions, no right to say who's allowed to marry, and no right to tell the churches who they're allowed to marry.

Hey mr america, whats it say in the constitution about religion and government? you tell me bucko.

What is it that says something about religious freedom? people are allowed to worship and in believe in their own personal way or personal definitions? It seems to me that banning homosexual marriage is based on religion, and not just religion, a uniform religious definition of marriage. how is that freedom of religion or beliefs? two strikes there.

You call yourself a "true american" and "patriot". you're the farthest thing from it.

well , ok. if you really want to seperate church and state then why do you have to goto a courthouse, and get a lincense and govenrment shit like that.

ASsman
11-04-2004, 08:49 PM
Here you have 2 choices.
A. Marriage is a religious union, and cease to protect it. Seperation of church and state et.c
B. Marriage is a civil union, and then you cannot use religious beliefs to regulate it. Unless you want to be forced to go to towel-head school in the case of a make believe Muslim government.

If you choose A then shut up and get all those priests to stop marrying gay people.
If you choose B also shut up and deal with it.

11-04-2004, 10:00 PM
The difference is:
Gay MARRIAGE is in "The Eyes of the Lord", and according to The Bible, God isn't too sweet on Homosexuality; Therefore, It's Blasphemy.

A Civil Union without the whole "God-Factor" is fine; all Gays want is the same
rights and benefits married couples have.

marriage isn't a separation of church and state issue.

yes, you are required to get a license by each state. you are not required to get married in a church. you are only required to get married by someone who is authorized to perform marriage ceremonies. if your state said you could only get married in a church, then you would have a valid separation of church and state argument.

banning homosexuals from marrying is an equal protection issue.

its not all about the bible to me. i do believe it is wrong. but just think about it, if u dont believe in God, then whoever did make us, yes we were made, evolution's full of holes, did not INTEND FOR THE SAME SEX TO HAVE SEX. part A only goes with part B, its not a diffucult concept to grasp. Part A doesnt go with part A, thats not how it works. this world is so fucked up with all this acceptance bullshit. we shouldnt accept something if its wrong or just something we dont like, we should just tolerate it, not accept it. and bout the marriage. i think we should have a "marriage" for gays, but not an actual marriage. it should just be for tax purposes and gov't benefits that married couples receive.

i'm well aware of what a civil union is as i went to law school, i was merely pointing out that marriage is not a separation of church and state issue.

what i don't understand is why the push to call homosexual marriages "civil unions." just to appease the so-called christians? if churches didn't want to perform the marriage ceremonies of homosexual couples, they obviously wouldn't have to as that is against their religion. fine; there are still judges and notarys public, and people who get ordained online that can perform ceremonies. when hetero couples get married by a judge or by a notary public, it's still called a marriage, not a civil union.

Exactly.

I think you can be free to oppose anything you want. That doesn't mean gay marriage should be regulated in anyway shape or form. I just don't understand the logic, the gay people should rise up and let the AFA know how repugnant they think a union between a man and woman is.

Personal choice and freedoms are not going to affect the Fucking War on Terror. They are morality issues of the Christian Fundalmentalists. It's just feeding the Militant Muslim Machine that terrorizes us. A self perpetuating prohecy. This whole gay marriage issue is a distraction.

Uhhh. No.

People are going to vote for what they believe, why would they vote against something they don't believe? That's stupid of you to assume. The free world? What are we free to do? Express our beliefs. Of course we're going to look out for us and get the laws that we want passed, that's the whole point of legislation, you genius. And someone else would have to agree, because the laws got passed.

I don't agree with banning gay marriage, but there are those that do obviously, so either I will get a group of supporters of gay marriage and try to use my personal morality to get the law changed. If you're not using your personal morality, then who's are you?

11-06-2004, 12:46 PM
As far as I'm concerned, Kold, the whole issue revolves around the fact that gay marriage shouldn't be a matter placed before the public to decide any more than segregation should have been. "Morality" shouldn't even enter into the equation. The dispensation of equal rights and freedoms should be an empirical and rational process, and should not rely on emotive sentiment - ie anybody's private idea of what is moral - as an arbiter. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't feel free to express your beliefs - obviously that's one of the hallmarks of our culture - but the expression of those beliefs should not extend to legislation that forces a dissenting minority to conform to them. Not every issue should be decided simply on the basis of a vote.

Hey GMSisko, since you know your bible so well and also refers to it, maybe you could answer these questions:

Dr. Laura Schlesinger is a well known
radiopersonality in the US, advising people who
phone in with their problems.

Recently she advised one of the callers, referring
to 3. Moses 18:22, that homosexuality is obscene
and can under no circumstances be tolerated. The
following is an open letter to Dr. Schlesinger from
an anonymous American citizen:

Dear Dr. Schlesinger,

Thank you for your efforts in teaching the people
about Gods commandments.
I have learnt a lot from you and I try to share this
knowledge with as many people as I can. If anyone
tries to defend homosexuality I only refer to 3.
Moses 18:22 where it is clearly written that
homosexuality is unacceptable.
That ends the discussion.

Now I need some advise how to live by the word of
God:

1. Each time I burn an ox in my garden as a
sacrifice to God I know that this pleases the Lord.
(3 Moses 1:9) The problem is my neighbours, who
do not like the smell.

2. I want to sell my daughter as a slave (2. Moses
21:7) With todays price level, what would be the
right price?

3. In 3. Moses 24:24 it is clearly stated that I can
have both male and female slaves, as long as they
are bought from a neighbouring country. A
friend of mine claims that this only applies to
Mexicans and not Canadians.
I need help on this. Can I have a Canadian slave?

4. I have a neighbour who insists on working on
the Sabbath. 2. Moses 35:2 clearly states that he
must be killed. Am I morally obliged to do this
myself?

5. One of my friends says that even if eating
shellfish is not acceptable (3.Moses 11:10),
homosexuality is worse. I disagree - who is right?

6. 3. Moses 21:20 clearly states that I must now
approach Gods altar if I do not see well. I am
nearsighted and wear glasses. Must my eyesight
be perfect, or is there a certain tolerance?

7. Most of my friends go to the hairdressers. They
cut their sideburns and trim their beards. 3. Moses
19:27 clearly defines this as a sin. How should
they be punished?

8. I have read in 3. Moses 11:7-8 that I cannot
touch any part of a dead pig, as this will make me
unclean. Can I play American football if I wear
gloves?

9. My uncle has a farm. He is sinning against
3.Moses 19:19 as he has two different crops in
the same field. His wife is as bad because she
wears textiles made from two different types of
cloth - a mixture of cotton and polyester. My uncle
also swears a lot. Is it really required that we
gather the people of the village to stone them to
death (3. Moses 24:10-16). Is it not easier to burn
them during a family gathering the way we should
do with people who have sex with their relatives
(3. Moses 20:14)?

I know that you are good at advising on problems
such as the above and am sure that you can help
me. Thank you for constantly reminding us that
Gods word is eternal and unalterable.

Marriage is an instution of God. The first marriage was recorded in the Bible. It is a proven fact that gay people can't properly raise children.

Proven fact by who? Jerry Falwell? If you actually KNEW anything as opposed to spewing off your right-winged facist ignorance, you would know that there are a few couples in America today who have daughters/sons they adopted. I read a story of a girl with two gay dads she named "dad" and "pop". When asked if she would ever want a mother, she replied "Why would I want to? I have enough love from both my fathers to last a lifetime." But please, show me this "PROVEN FACT" you have, because I guarantee you, you can't find it. You know it's not proven. It's more proven that they can raise children.

If marriage is such an institution of God, why is there divorce? Hmm? Why would half this country be getting divorced if it's so fuckin' sacred? Being allowed to get married for 24 hours so you can properly get your sex on without going to hell, then annulling the marriage, doesn't seem too HOLY to me. But it happens all the time. Look at Ms. Spears. Married for what, 12 hours? It's okay, she can go to Vegas, get hitched, fuck for 12 hours, then get divorced, and it's A-OKAY by God!

There's so many people in this country that abuse their children. Child abuse, child sexual abuse is rampant and disgusting. And guess what? THEY'RE ALL STRAIGHT COUPLES WHO DO IT. I find it stupid that Christians say NOT to get an abortion, that you should give it up for adoption. But it's only okay to adopt if you're straight. Do you really think straight people would rather adopt? No. They want kids of their own. They'd adopt if they CAN'T have kids, which isn't a lot of the population. There are a lot of unwanted children out there in this country, and I admire the fact that gays want to share their love with a child.

I have a friend who was raised by her aunt and her mother. She had "two moms" but no father figure. And she's just fine. She loves both of them, they both helped raise her. Is that wrong? Should her mother and aunt NOT have raised her? Two mothers worked out great for her, so why is it any different than if they were two gay mothers?

I believe God wants more love in this country, not hate. Christian are the ones with the hate. They hate gays enough to tell them they can't give proper loving homes to these unwanted children. I find that sickening and repulisive that you're that afraid of FAGS to tell them how to run their lives. If gays want to love children, to take care of them, by all means, let them.

Yeah, I was talking to my Political Ideologies professor about that, he says there's a huge flip-flop recently. 'Conservative' doesn't mean what it used to, the liberals are now more 'conservative', not wanting to invade other countries and having the government out of everyone's business. So I'm proud to say at this point, I'm a conservative democrat.

Look Bub, that is not the same thing. Black People, White people, and all races should have the same rights. This country was founded on Christian principals. If you don't like it, move to Hollywood, or Canada, or better yet FRANCE! As I said before give the gay people Civil Unions. Don't give them marriage. Marriage is an instution of God. The first marriage was recorded in the Bible. It is a proven fact that gay people can't properly raise children. The ideal way to raise a child is with a mother and a father.

don't send them to France ! that country was founded on Christian principals !

yeah, and about the "proven fact" , queenadrock already challenged you to give us that, by I just know you will never reply to that question and just come with some new ridiculous arguments

Well I'm going to be at my friend Nicks gay wedding inext year. I'm best man and I'm a girl.
They're blissfully happy and couldnt imagine their lives without each other.
So if thats what they want thenthey should have it. It's not going to do any one else any harm and if they want to be parents then those kids would be lucky to have them.
Live and let live. If you dont wanna see it just walk away.

I know what you mean, but I think that there's a danger in assuming this, or taking it for granted. It's very possible for a culture to become more conservative in response to perceived problems with liberalism. For example, take the emergence of fascism in the UK.

First off, that is nearly off topic. Second of all he said CONSENTUAL.
Fool...

It is like saying, drinking is fine, we have the liberty to do so because we are humans.
And then arguing that children are humans aswell, and that letting them drink is the flaw in that logic.

Bend over, here it comes, straight from Karl Roves mouth,

President Bush "absolutely" will use his second term to push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, his top political strategist said Sunday. Karl Rove, who oversaw Bush's re-election victory, said Bush will renew the effort, which failed in Congress this year but may enjoy new support after 11 states approved bans on same-sex marriage on Election Day.

What if Bush proposes an Amendment making Civil Unions binding in All States? Then it wouldn't be "Marriage" and everyone would be happy... :confused:

This Great Nation was founded on Christian principals.Really? I thought it was founded on escaping taxation from the King of England and stealing land from Indians?
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!You do realize, you can't just say something and make it fact, right?

Hmm, wait. Let me try this: The majority of Americans think gmsisko is an idiot. Yeah...that's cool.

Um, gay marriage was a diversionary issue. The economy sucks, the US shouldn't be in Iraq and we're losing lives daily, we haven't gotten close to Bin Laden, the rest of the world thinks we're idiots -- wait, let's focus on gay marriage.

Prediction: Before the next election, the Supreme Court will test Roe v. Wade (abortion).

Edit: Besides the 'fact' that marriage "has always been between a man and a woman" why else ban it? Forget religion since the majority of us Americans are heathens. Can you come up with one real reason to ban gay marriage? Other than it makes you uncomfortable?
